Yes with the New Covenant comes a NEW way of Life which is ''to no longer transgress God's law/Commandments....PAST Sins are remitted completely so we can start afresh !Rom 3v25.
PRESENT Sins need to be confessed and repented of to have them forgiven, they are not automatically wiped out !
Yes JESUS has done HIS part in all that HE could do but for the redeemed MAN it is a New Beginning, THIS time to become/be obedient to the Will of God and His Word Heb 5v8,9, starting with His Commandments ! Do we continue in Sin ? God forbid ! Rom 6.
Sin is the transgression of the law 1Joh 3v4....which christians have done from the start. NOW they are being enlightened and corrected (before judgement) they should ''turn to the Lord God of Israel and keep His Commandments...starting with HIS HOLY SABBATH...JESUS being our living example !!!
YOUR choice !!!
well also dear sister theres More there " He is the mediator of a New testament" Gods commands are given By Jesus His Only Begotten Son, its what the People asked for at Horeb.
there is a whole new covenant, we do Not follow the Law of Moses way, we follow Jesus way, regarding the sabbath, Yes indeed to observe the sabbath is a Christian doctrine, But.....we do Not observe the sabbath according to Moses Mediation of the first coveanant given at horeb when they pleaded NOT to Hear Gods Word. we Observe the sabbath according to Jesus.
for instance under Moses Mediation, it is unlawful to bear any Load, for any reason on the sabbath, it is also, unlawful to gather food on the sabbath. As you Know sister, under Moses there is No reasoning to violate the sabbath and it at points is a death sentance to do so.
Jesus However Got caught defending His disciples who were picking Wheat on the sabbath, which gathering food was part of the six day work, the 6th, 2 days were gathered so that No one was to work at all on the sabbath. you see this in the manna that fed them. and also written in the law of Moses. Jesus as it is thought He preached the law of Moses again did not, His Mediation is of the spirit. So in other words "Judgement rules over ordinance" if that Makes sense
it is unlawful to gather food on the sabbath.....But is God Our Father prefering that His Children go Hungry rather than gather a Bite to eat real quick on the sabbath? does it really Honor God to carefully do No work, even if its cold to Light No fire or gather No firewood, to rather go Hungry than obey this rule?
Jesus teaches us something No one really understood, God does Not wish for us to see Him through 10 commands of " what Not to do" and given By a Blazing terrifiying Mountain where all are commanded to remain far away lest they be put to death, thunder terrifying sounds only 1 allowed to approach, and a few companions allowed to approach part way.
Jesus teaches us that rather than seeing God Like that, we are to See Him as Our Father who Loves us, and is calling us into His presence, His Loving embrace is waiting for us. can you imagine saying that in Moses law? the same God who took Lives for coming too close, who warned the priests to carefully observe so Many rituals before they came into the temple. yet Jesus tells of God as Our Father who is waiting to run to Us and put His arms around us, waiting to forgive those who will Just turn toward Hoime again.....
there are two mediations, One came at Horeb, with it came a promise that " I will raise up a prophet Like Moses from omong thier brethren, Him they Must Hear I will put My words in His mouth, and will Hold the people to account of the words He speaks" this is a reference to Jesus ( acts 3) a Mediator, is the One in between two Parties, He goes Before One, takes His word to the others and they then Hear it and respond. He is a go between, a mediation between two seperated parties, in this case God, and Mankind. were seperated, because of transgression of the Law of Moses.......Jesus Brought the Law of reconciliation, His testament, is Life for the dead, Moses testamen is what Put us to death.
i agree we Have to obey the Lord, we have to Obey Jesus and His commands, those are the Word of God. the sabbath should Never Be more important than the people.......while we should abserve the sabbath, we Have to Love above all. do I maybe Mow My elderly Neighbors yard for Her on the sabbath Because I know Her Health isnt good? would God condemn Me for violating His sabbath if im doing good to another Person?
According to Moses,,,,yes. According to Jesus, Love covers Sin every time. or Love is < sin always. the sabbath is a cammandment, that we should enjoy, i think theres also an element to God that if you hate having to keep the sabbath......it doesnt Matter to Him when you do it, Because its Something that we do, to Honor Our God, Just Because in the Beginning when He created us and Our world and Gave it all to Us...He said " Keep this day Holy, for i rested this day I am the Lord God , observe My sabbath"
thats really enough for us to Observe His word. He is our Creator Life exists Because God gave it to us.....when did Obeying Our Good God who is always looking out for our good, become something foreign to faith ? we Must see the Judgement of Jesus, Love first. infact to Love others in truth, is to Love God. or an example Jesus uses " the commandent Hinor thy Mother and father".....yet if the tithe or offering takes away from you supporting the needs of your Parents, first take care of them, and then figure out the tithe but Put the Love first even over the Laws letter. Moses taught the letter was More than the Man.
for instance do Not commit adultery...Moses then " the adulterer must die" Because they Broke the command, they were commanded to be put to death. the word is greater than even the person.
Jesus again values the person, even when they have transgressed the Word. the adulterer is Not commanded to be putto death inder Jesus Mediation, the judgement is turned on Her accusers, and she who is guilty and condemned By Law, is pardoned and instructed. There is real value, in seeing God through the New covenant and His truth , that He Loves us and actually desires to Be with us, close to us Live in and with us. rather than Looking to destroy us for breaking the law......Jesus is all we really Need. He will always lead to freedom from sin, and righteousness in the sight of God.
